Jan 15 Episode Seventy-Eight: Parker Hulme Murder

On June 22 1954, the body of Honorah Parker was found in Victoria Park in Christchurch, New Zealand. Within days of the murder, her 16-year-old daughter, Pauline and Pauline's 15-year-old friend, Juliet Hulme were charged with the crime.

The trial would bring up allegations of lesbianism, shared delusion and insanity. And ultimately, they were judged and imprisoned for being inherently evil.

Were they unfairly tried? Did they know the ramifications of their actions would have? Who is responsible for what happened that day?
